Some breakaways, a crazy sprint, the occasional crash, some colossal organizational errors, and the Giro’s first big GC shake up. Stages 5-9 were many things, but they certainly weren’t boring. Here’s a second HTRWW installment for the 2017 Giro, thanks to the good rightsholders at Eurosport. Don’t forget to catch up on Giro Stages 1-4. […]

Four stages, four separate winners, four new leaders—the start of the 2017 Giro has more than delivered. Catch up on all the action—espcially the bits you might have missed the first time—from the non-sprint on Stage 1, to the echelons on Stage 3, to yesterday’s climb to the top of Mount Etna. All legit, thanks […]

Hooray! Another season of #HTRWW is upon us! Thanks to CyclingTips, you can now take a delightful tour of the 2017 Milan-Sanremo, which differentiated itself from recent years with fewer crashes, a steadier pace, and a new take on teamwork over the final two climbs—but would this change the overall outcome?

And with this final TdF video for Week 3, the 2016 Tour is a wrap. Be sure to check out the episodes 1, 2, 3 and the preview video as well. As always, huge thanks to Scott and CyclingTips for making it happen. Shirt by me.

Never have I felt more like Walter Sobchak. The Tour de France video for Week 3 (also check out the first week, second week and preview) was a lot of work. So much to unpack and re-assemble, especially a shambolic Stage 12 and a teeny-tiny bit of controversy over a sprint or two. As always, […]

Is it Stages 6 through 9, or 5 through 9, or ♫ workin’ 9-to-5, just tryin’ to make a livin’… ♫ Week 2’s Tour de France video (also check out the first week and preview) covers the fairly traditional ground of the GC even but notes that a lot of work is being done for […]

The first of our our new “How The Week Was Won” videos shows that despite some opportunity for mass disruption, the 2016 Tour has gotten off to a slow start—at least from the prospective of the overall classification. The result has been more than a few bonkers sprints, where experience and solid teamwork have mostly […]

What’s that? Time for a video about the 2016 Tour? Sure, why not. Just let me get the bucket… Though obviously there’ll be more detail and discussion in the forthcoming TdF Recon Ride podcasts, here’s a quick video synopsis of this year’s Tour and storylines, plus a couple of things that might be interesting to […]

No better way to end the spring season than a thin layer of heavy, damp snow, right? The weather certainly played a role, but tactics, vind vests, gearing, and even (maybe) the occasional spectator did too. Enjoy the schadenfreude that comes from knowing your local weather conditions are nowhere near this bad, courtesy of CyclingTips […]

Into the hills of the Netherlands, on a race course the favorites still seem to be trying to figure out. Yes, the action is end-loaded, but it’s pretty interesting this time around PLUS I hid a rider mis-identification toward the end totally on purpose to see if you’re paying attention and not at all because […]
